Daniel Parnell, Dylan Tyree and Scott Byrd have been indicted on murder charges.

The young men who were with a teenager April 15 when she was shot in the head have been indicted on murder charges.

Scott Tipton Byrd and Dillon Wade Tyree, both of Stapleton, and Daniel Parnell of Bay Minette are in the Baldwin County Corrections Center.

Summer Moody, 17, was shot in the head when two men fired warning shots after discovering the group on Gravine Island. She died 10 days later at the University of South Alabama Medical Center, where she had been in a coma.

The Baldwin County sheriff's and district attorney's offices have a news conference planned for 3 p.m. today.

Byrd, who was also Moody's boyfriend, Tyree and Parnell were arrested following the shooting in connection with break-ins at two fishing camps on the island.

William "Nick" Hearn, Larry Dean Duncan Jr. and Lonnie W. Davison heard noises on the island and saw the teens run when they went to investigate.

Two of the men fired warning shots from small-caliber rifles. One of those shots hit Moody in the head as she hid in the woods.

In late April, the Baldwin County District Attorney Hallie Dixon said investigators concluded that the shooting was accidental and the adults would not be charged.

In testimony from a May 4 hearing, two investigators described accounts provided to them by those involved.

According to testimony, Davison said he was working outside in the early morning hours of April 15 when he and Hearn heard what they believed was a break-in in progress at the nearby camp of a friend. Duncan joined the men as they took Davison's boat to check the situation.

Duncan and Hearn had rifles. They noticed activity around the camp. According to testimony, they ordered Byrd to stop after seeing him in thick woods behind the cabin. Hearn fired a shot into the ground and Duncan fired a shot.

One investigator testified that it is "highly probable that Dean Duncan did fire the fatal shot" that struck Moody.

The men left briefly but when they returned they found Tyree and Parnell trying to get Moody in their boat. The men took over, since their boat was faster, and got Moody to Cloverleaf Landing for help.

Investigators found a rifle on a nearby pier and on April 16 a hoodie with gun shells in the pockets was found in the water there. Investigators testified that the rifle belonged to Byrd. A hunting knife was also found on the porch of the camp where Byrd was first spotted.

According to the Baldwin County Corrections Center website, Parnell and Byrd are jailed on felony murder charges with bail set at $250,000 each. Tyree is also in jail but in addition to the murder charge he is facing first-degree burglary and first-degree assault charges. All three are now 18 but were 17 when the incident took place.
